Su Qing entered the city and walked on a simple street paved with mud, with simple houses of earth and wood on both sides.

Occasionally, pedestrians would pass by, their clothes old but without patches, clearly indicating that they lived below the poverty line.

After walking through two streets, you can unexpectedly see several patrol teams of burly men, each carrying a wooden stick and a knife, looking fierce and menacing.

Pedestrians on the street would avoid it from a distance.

Su Qing had no interest in looking for trouble, so he just kept walking. Perhaps because it was rare to see wandering merchants in the city, people often stopped him and asked what kind of goods he sold.

However, only a minority actually want to or have the financial means to buy it.

After walking through several streets, it became completely dark, and all they had collected were a few dozen scattered copper coins.

A small handful of salt and powdered sugar were sold, but not a single piece of bread or seasoning was sold.

The purchasing power here is also very low; those people simply cannot afford to buy food they've never even seen before.

Moreover, you are all stingy and greedy, keeping prices so low that Su Qing has no room to make money.

With the few dozen copper coins he has now, after deducting the cost of materials, he can only make about 70% profit, which is too much of a loss.

However, he felt he should find a place to rest first. Along the way, he found many houses that were uninhabited, but all of them were locked with large padlocks with the Wolf Head Society's symbol engraved on them: a wolf head with a blue face and fangs.

The message is very clear: those who do not purchase a house have no right to reside there, and there are special personnel patrolling the area. If a lock is found to be broken, the person will be immediately apprehended.

This put Su Qing in a difficult position. In his eyes, these dilapidated mud and wood houses were no different from those built with a few straws, and he could easily break them if he wasn't careful.

He tried to squeeze the lock on a door, and as a result, the lock, the door, the wall, and the roof were all pulled down by him.

I must admit, this lock is much sturdier than the house!

Before attracting attention, Su Qing slipped away to another street.

However, because there are patrols, people are not allowed to stay out overnight, and you have to avoid those fierce-looking, burly men.

Otherwise, if you encounter it, there is a high chance of bloodshed.

Finally, Su Qing found an unlocked door, which was half-open. Su Qing, carrying a shoulder pole, slipped inside.

After closing the door, I turned around and saw a naked woman. Her face showed no fear or apprehension at the intrusion of a stranger, and she didn't shout. Instead, her eyes were filled with seductive charm.

Su Qing was taken aback, opened the door, looked outside, but didn't see any small pink lanterns.

I feel like I've trespassed into someone's studio, and I might have even disrupted their work for the night. That was really inappropriate.

"Um, I'll stay at your place for one night."

A woman in her thirties, still charming, giggled, "Everyone who comes to my house does this!"

Su Qing: "..."

When there's nothing to do, students should definitely be allowed to go out and see more of the world!

"I won't do that!"

"What are you doing?"

Su Qing: "..."

He felt that he was becoming increasingly unable to express himself clearly, and it seemed that they had already begun to discuss the details of the deal.

"I'm only staying here for one night, and I won't do anything else!"

Su Qing explained earnestly, after all, he was an honest dragon who never did anything against his conscience.

The woman seemed a little disappointed and pouted, "Okay, but the price is the same, one hundred copper coins a night."

The woman said 100 copper coins, but Su Qing suddenly became conflicted: "Don't say that. The way you put it makes it sound like I'm at a disadvantage."

Su Qing took out a glass: "Can I use this to pay for the money?"

The woman glanced at it and her eyes lit up immediately.

Although she didn't recognize glass, this crystal-clear, gem-like thing was indeed attractive to girls, even though she was a girl in her thirties.

"Can!"

Su Qing pleased the woman, and her attitude towards him changed. She got off the bed, disregarding the fact that she only had a piece of cloth tied around her waist, and enthusiastically poured water for Su Qing.

Su Qing took a sip and couldn't help but exclaim, "The medicine is excellent."

The woman smiled, but her expression froze as she realized what was happening.

Su Qing ignored the woman's increasingly terrified face, pushed the other woman's bedding aside, spread out his own bedding, and fell asleep.

However, he clearly didn't sleep well, because less than fifteen minutes after he lay down, the door was pushed open, and a man walked in with that lewd smile on his face.

However, upon seeing the fat man lying on the bed, he froze, cursing and questioning the woman.

No, didn't we already make an agreement? Why is there another man in the room? I clearly paid for one person's purchase, so why should someone else share the items he bought?

The noise was so loud that it kept people awake, which made Su Qing, who was already uncomfortable because of the tail, even more upset.

He opened his eyes, got out of bed, and poured the remaining half-glass of water into the man's mouth.

With a thud, the man fell to the ground!

The world is quiet!

Su Qing looked at the woman: "Where are you going?"

The woman moved stealthily toward the door, but then froze again.

Su Qing smiled, his face beneath the black robe radiating warmth and sunshine. He picked up the woman's coat and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Be careful, it's cold outside. I'll be worried if you catch a cold."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at the woman, waiting for her to leave so he could lock the door.

But the woman seemed to have misunderstood something; her nose twitched slightly, and tears streamed down her face.

"You're so good to me!"

Su Qing was stunned, looking at the woman: "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm not leaving!"

The woman shook her head; she didn't think the fat man in black was a bad person.

Su Qing was a little disappointed. He had lost a property, and he was planning to sell it tomorrow!

But never mind, it's not a big deal.

Go back to sleep!

The bed is large, after all, this kind of work sometimes requires many people to work together, and a small bed would not allow for proper movement.

The woman and the dragon each occupied one side of the bed, keeping to themselves and their own separate affairs.

While Su Qing was quietly falling asleep, the female thief outside the city had already begun to sneak in.

The two-meter-high wall was easy for her to climb over; she had already scouted the area in the city beforehand, so she could easily get in now.

The guards and patrols in the city were not very strict; in fact, most of them were just for show.

The female thief infiltrated easily, approaching the city center. In the center of the city were three stone forts, one on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle. The largest one in the middle belonged to the leader of the Wolf Head Gang, while the one on the left was her target this time, the second-in-command of the Wolf Head Gang, Fat Pig.

Those guys probably never imagined that she would dare to sneak back the very next day to steal that treasure.

Although she might be caught stealing yesterday and the outside is heavily guarded, the inside might be relatively more relaxed.

The female thief slipped past several guards and cautiously crept into the stone fortress.
